Where does MLO stand wrt adding high-res screen support?

[Dave C]

Friends, I've used MLO for a long time, and I keep waiting for the app to support the high-res screens that we all have today.  I'm so tired of looking at slightly blurry text, or trying to use a different font in an effort to mask the problem.  What is the team plan to add this capability in the future?

Thanks,

Dave C

This has been trouble for me too. We need focus on what make it possible to use and be productive. New "features" can't help when we still can't use it for basic reasons

Is it possible for you guys who are having this problem to post a screenprint of what you're seeing? I don't have any problem but my resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 which is the recommended resolution for my monitor. My wife likes hers set on a lower res which makes her icons and display larger but also makes the text and display slightly blurry. It doesn't bother her but it does me. Is it possible your display is set on a low resolution?

I have a hard time clicking the right spot because everything is so small and close together

My monitor is wide, and set to recommended resolution.  I'm also well-versed in how I can change that AND MLO font sizes and themes to make things bigger or smaller.  That only takes you so far though.  I'm guessing the problem is that the guts of MLO's display code are not set up to drive the high pixel densities of today's displays.  They acknowledged this with the 5.0 release when they said "high res support coming in the future".  I'm also older and need all the help I can get from good displays and apps that support them, and MLO isn't quite there.

I want to love MLO, and I've left it and come back twice.  I just wish I didn't keep finding these small but persistent irritants that slow me down.

I suspect they're using resolutions higher than 1920 x 1080. 1920 x 1080 isn't really considered "high res" these days. The native res on my monitor, for example, is 2560 x 1440. Many laptops (MS Surface Pros, for example) are running at similar, higher resolutions.

Regardless, the problem isn't really the monitor's resolution. It's the fact that these high resolutions force people to change the DPI setting for their monitor, running at 125% scaling, 150%, etc., instead of 100%. This forces everything to appear larger on the screen, but often introduces scaling issues with apps that aren't DPI aware.

There are some settings you can play with, at least on Windows 10, to see if that fixes display issues with MLO. Find the mlo.exe, right-click on it, Properties, Compatibility tab, "Change high DPI settings" button (near the bottom), try the different "High DPI scaling override" options.

A solution to this would be timely. Thanks for suggestion on Compatibility Tab, I have spent time trying this, not worked for me. This problem happens for me on a Microsoft Surface Pro with the default settings.
